The Descent of Thoughtfulness

After the final collapse of the old, transitory soul & the resurrection of the void-wind nature's mouth long after virtues are lost in a swirl of constant fluxing destruction which stabs the longing eyes Tracing the lines of the invisible, unmistakable force of relation to that which is interpreted through the senses & which creeps out of unrecalled dreams - the reinforced born-into mistake, set in stone language to seem holy symbols to feel normal - yet never seeking solace in instinct or beaten down for sensing the eternal question a pluck of the heartstrings to instigate confusion to investigate breath, to regulate the settling of mercury within the vibrating dome of one single bleeding dollar - stamped over the heel of Achilles With good conscience beating the air - to celebrate the holy day that came from somewhere concocted over midnight's back
